Tunze 6045 in a 55G Help

[Boomstick]

So we have a tank that was supposed to be a Fish only but low and behold we got sucked in and now have SPS and it is time to upgrade

So after a ton of research i found that Tunze has a real good rep and appart from a few small issues it appears that he customer service is real good so here is my qestion

I have a 55G 48" x 20" x 12.5" and i would like to put in a 6045, i have 600gph filter pump in to go with it.

in the tank I have:
Green Star polyps
Christmas Tree Worms
Leather Toadstool
Discosoma Mushroom
Rhodactis Mushroom
Pipe Organ
Polyps
Bubble Tip Anemone


(Fish: Yellow Tang, Ocellaris Clown, Antheis, Yellow head sleeper goby and Pseudochromis)

What do you think of the 6045 and will i have a problem with a sand storm - i have a 2"+ sand base.

Cheers,

Because the 6045 can be swiveled in almost any direction I don't foresee any problems at all.

If you are going to keep SPS two 6045s would be minimum in 55g.

Or you could also put 2 6055's as well. They are controllable and will give you as much flow as you can handle.
